D. Carefully read each question and apply what is ask in each item.

1. If the first four Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1 and 2, what is the twelfth number?
Answer: 144

2. If the first three Fibonacci numbers are given as F 1 = 1, F2 = 1 and F3 = 2, then
what is the least value of n for which Fn > 500?
Answer: 11

3. The partial sums of the first n and n + 1 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are
both divisible by 11. What is the smallest value of n?
Answer: N=9

4. Find the 18th term in the Fibonacci sequence applying the Binet’s formula.
Answer: 2584
Phi18/√5 = 2584.00007739938
-(-phi)18/√5 =-0.00007739937848658534
Fib(18) = 2584.000000000002

5. How did they discover the Fibonacci sequence?

Answer: In his 1202 book Liber Abaci, Fibonacci introduced the sequence to
Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been described
earlier in Indian mathematics, as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on
enumerating possible patterns of Sanskrit poetry formed from syllables of two
lengths.

6. What is golden ratio?

Answer: Golden ratio is a special number approximately equal to 1.618 that
appears many times in mathematics, geometry, art, architecture and other areas

7. Collect/take at least three pictures applying the concept of golden ratio.

8. In what way is the golden ratio(phi) related to the Fibonacci numbers?

The golden ratio is an irrational number with an infinite number of random digits
that can be calculated as (the square root of 5 + 1)/2. To fifteen places this is
1.61803398874989. So in the sequence above, you can see that the ratio from
each pair of numbers gets closer and closer to the golden ratio. Go further into
the Fibonacci sequence to the pair of successive numbers of 14,930,352 /
9,227,465 and the result is 1.61803398874989, accurate to 15 places.
